Including Direct X (9c) with App Setup

Hi all,

Can someone point me to an example of the best way to include the DirectX
redistributable with my vb.net applications setup program. I am making the
setup app in visual studio 2005 and have it installing the .net framework and
then my app. Now I want to also install Direct X in there. I am making a CD
install.

For the .net framework I just check prerequisites for the .net 2 and whalaa!

But alas, there is no item for Direct X there. So is there some other simple
checkbox somewhere in there (vs2005) ?

I thought about shelling to the directx redistributable .exe after my app
has installed. Appears you do this with a custom action? Isnt there an
easier/better way?

Any examples, advice on the best way would be mucho grande.

Tom
